Heading into a new season, we wanted to take a second to look back and just say... thank you. ❤️
It’s hard to believe Anna Loka has been part of the community for over a decade, and that we’ve been at the helm for five of those years. Honestly, looking back at everything—especially the rollercoaster of the last few years—we’re constantly blown away by your support. It means the world to us.
We want to be real with you: things feel different lately. The demand for vegan food in South Wales has shifted, and like so many small independent spots, we’ve had to do some soul-searching about the future. While we know vegan food is so much more than a “trend,” the current climate makes running a full-time vegan business a bit of a climb right now.
But we aren’t losing heart! Our travels through Canada and Asia lately showed us just how incredible and diverse plant-based food can be, and it’s reminded us why we love what we do. There is still so much potential here in the UK, and we’re excited to be part of it.
Onto the good stuff! 🙌
We are buzzing to get back out on the road. Here is where you can find us this festival season:
Caerphilly Food Festival – 18th April
Bristol Tambor Festival – 25th–26th April
Devauden Festival – 23rd–25th May
Feast on Cardiff – 29th–31st May (TBC)
Gate to Southwell Folk Festival – 4th–6th July Steelhouse Festival – 25th–27th July
National Eisteddfod – 1st–8th August (TBC)
That’s 99% of our year locked in (though we might have one more surprise up our sleeve 👀). We’re also playing around with some new ideas, like bringing our food to other local businesses, so stay tuned for that.
For now, we’re just grateful to still be doing what we love. We can’t wait to see your faces again, starting with Caerphilly! This will be our last year as Anna Loka 💔
Thanks for everything 💚
Aaron & Kai
